the Saturday date

Saturday mornings we instinctively wake up and say "Wanna go to the flea market?"... and we dooooo! :) It's been a while so there were lots of new treasures to be scooped and photographed :) The list of juicy finds is too long, so I'll share fun glimpses of my finds through photos :) picnikfile_pk88KO I think my favorite finds ever have been our chair, my banana seat bike (adult) and seafoam gumball machine :) What's your fave find (link to photos if you have)? * Here are some other things that also caught my eye but I left for other Winnipeg hunters :) picnikfile_YbvQWm Tomorrow... the big winner & bonus winner announced! Tonight's your last chance to enter! :)

  7. Q. what would you say are the best flea markets in Winnipeg?
    A. The only one I go to is called Thirsty's Flea Market at Ellice & Erin (1111 Ellice, basement). There's a few more in the city but they're too shoppy for me (vendors clean up wares & 'display' them...which ends up causing higher prices and takes away the feeling of 'discovering' a treasure amongst the market.)
    If you go to Thirsty's, Brian's the best... he runs the whole aisle on the very right and stocks good stuff :) Keith and I like him, he's super nice :) If thirsty's had a photobooth, it would be my official favorite place in the city!

  13. I love your finds. It seems like your flea market must be better than mine, because rarely do I find such treasures, and I often roam flea markets for hours.

  17. Hey Leigh-Ann it's Brittany, I was the one that had asked about the flea markets!
    Thirsty's is actually the only one I go to as well because it's close to my Nana's house, I just hate that it's only open on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm definitely a huge fan of the place. The only other one I have been to is the one down Osbourne but it seems like things are way more exensive there, probably just because of the sort of traffic they get there? I haven't been in so long, Im definitely in the mood for some treaure hunting now!

  18. That picture of the egg cups is remarkable! I've been collecting egg cups since I was about... 16 and they are hard to find! I love them! They're old and hardly made anymore and I have so many different ones! Oh how I love thrifting!
